Unilever is involved twice.
According to the consumer association, the filling quantity of Cremissimo Bourbon Vanilla ice cream has been reduced from 1,300 to 900 milliliters. With the same retail price, the hidden price increase amounts to up to 44 percent.
According to a statement from Unilever in March 2024, the large family pack of Cremissimo Bourbon Vanilla will continue to be available. However, it remains unclear how often and on what occasions the product will be offered.
According to the consumer advice center, a seemingly higher-quality product turned out to be "old wine in new bottles". Nevertheless, the new shower cream costs almost twice as much as the old shower cream. The filling quantity is decreasing and the price is increasing. However, the ingredients have remained almost identical. In the "Rich Care" variety, only two of the 29 ingredients are different.
In a statement, manufacturer Unilever nevertheless speaks of a new, higher-quality product and refers, among other things, to its innovative bottle shape.🙈
